Quiadal, you're ill informed. But I am not going to debate the [well-documented] health benefits of a vegetarian diet -- except to say THERE IS NO NUTRIENT IN MEAT THAT CANNOT BE DERIVED FROM EGGS AND DAIRY.
But health is NOT why I'm a vegetarian. I am a vegetarian because I do not want to go around killing sentient beings that wish to avoid death and pain.
Quinadal, you almost certainly also do not go around inflicting unnecessary pain on animals -- at least, the ones you can see. If you had a dog, you wouldn't go home and kick it, would you?
I'm simply pointing out that the same principle applies to animals that produce our meat.
